Mer

Cool animated video of Mars MER explorer. Not the real thing but what it probably looked like during take-off, landing and rolling about the planet.

I wonder what it would cost a private venture to get a little lander like this to Mars.

That was pretty damn cool. I kept thinking of an "assault on the launchpad" scenario for Desert Combat...

I got a little misty at the end. Poor little guy. All alone on the planet. Never coming home. I wonder if he'll get lonely and decide to travel half-way around the planet to find his twin for a little robot loving.

Upon further review, I found a 640x480 version of the movie and uploaded to AK's FTP site.
